Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some answers to common patient questions. Be sure to review any questions you may have with your doctor before surgery and that the answers are clear. All surgeries have risks and benefits and it’s important to understand what’s right for you ahead of time. Ask for clarification if you have trouble understanding an answer or any medical terms. Sometimes it’s helpful to write questions down beforehand. We have found that a well-informed patient is a more satisfied patient.
